What do I major in if i want to work at a prestigious ad agency or in magazines, music, or fashion industry?

I was thinking something broad, like commmunications or advertising with a minor in graphic design. I would like to have some kind of lucrative career in magazines, the music industry, an ad agency or maybe the fashion industry, like a clothing line, or maybe something like an art director or something more on the business side. I am so confused. Here are some programs I am considering:

i would honestly get a marketing degree. then you can apply it anywhere, anytime. don't specialize too much because you might change your mind down the road..you don't know how the economy will change.



i would stay away from graphic design and advertising, this is such a competitive industry and most people dont even get hired based on their creative skills. in advertising, its such a back-stabbing industry full of fake, selfish people. graphic design is dead. no one hires true talent anymore, not since the computer came out and noone respects talent.



if i were you i would go with your second choice in marketing. it would be better if you found a school where you got a degree instead of a diploma, almost every job demands a degree. a marketing degree can be used in ANY industry, its extremely versatile, you could use it even if you ended up in an environmental company or biotechnology in the future..you wont' regret it.What do I major in if i want to work at a prestigious ad agency or in magazines, music, or fashion industry?
